Celebrate Breastfeeding 2026

Join the Movement for Lactation Justice

For generations, breastfeeding has nourished families, strengthened communities, and connected us to one another.

Yet far too many families still face barriers to the information, clinical care, and community support they need to meet their infant feeding goals.

At The Obsidian Milk Collective, we believe every family deserves access to evidence-based lactation care, compassionate support, and the opportunity to make informed feeding decisions without navigating those challenges alone.

Throughout National Breastfeeding Month, we're inviting you to help build that future.

Why This Campaign Matters

Celebrate Breastfeeding is more than a fundraiser.

It's a month-long celebration of families, education, advocacy, and community.

Every conversation we have…

Every story shared…

Every family supported…

And every dollar invested…

Moves us closer to a future where lactation is recognized as an essential part of maternal and infant health.

What We're Building

The Obsidian Milk Collective is building Alabama's first Black-led nonprofit lactation practice.

Our work extends beyond individual appointments.

We're building a future where families have access to:

🤎 Evidence-based clinical lactation care

🤎 Prenatal breastfeeding education

🤎 Community support groups

🤎 Advocacy for equitable lactation policies

🤎 Professional education and workforce development

🤎 Partnerships that strengthen maternal and infant health across Alabama

Because families deserve more than surviving. They deserve to thrive.

This Is Just the Beginning.

Celebrate Breastfeeding is about more than one month.

It's about building a future where lactation belongs in every maternal and infant health conversation, where families have access to informed, compassionate care, and where communities work together to ensure no one has to navigate their feeding journey alone.

Thank you for believing in this vision.

Together, we're building something that will last.
